Stomach issues after C-section

BC&LM

Has anyone else on here had stomach issues ever since you had your C-section (increased bloating, gassiness, diarrhea/nausea more often than usual, etc.)? I had my section six months ago, and I swear my stomach has been much more sensitive since then but don't know if it is just coincidental. If so, did you talk to your doctor about it or find out what was causing it?

Yes, all of those things. I ended up in the ER with a gallbladder attack. Had it removed a week later. No other problems except some tenderness to the touch in some of the places I had previous pains. I also have muscle spasms in the same place I had contractions in my back prior to my c-section. Now those are fun...

I don't think it has anything to do necessarily with the c section but rather with hormones from the pregnancy.  I would consult your doctor.  I found as time went on after my DD was born that my stomach changed but then regulated itself and I believe it was pregnancy hormones.

I'm 2 weeks out and my stomach is a mess. Major cramping and gas pains. I think it's partly my intestines getting messed with during surgery and partly the stool softeners I have to take with my iron pills.

My belly is all over the place last night and tonight. And for once in ohhhh 13 months (I had a m/c right before this baby) I know it's not because I'm pregnant and I'm not sure what to do about it lol

I was nauseous all the time after my first, until she was 14 months and I got pregnant with my second. No issues after that until I got pregnant this time and have just had awful morning sickness... No idea what caused it before

I had my 3rd csection 12 days ago. I'm normally constipated after. This time I've had horrible cramping and diahrreha for the last 5 days. I started taking probiotic yesterday, and have already noticed a slight improvement.
